Mr. Savage sketched the sorrow of the 'parents of Franks and the heavy burden placed upon the Leo pold and Loeb families. Mr. ! Bachrch ' seized upon the prominence and respectability of his clients' households as a point to argue that by the very nature of things scions of such surroundings- would not commit such a ttithe unless there was something Mrpng with them mentally. And, the contrasts were not only in the; Ideas. Mr. l Savage moved back and forth in a cleared space before the bench, gesturing rigorously or pounding emphatically upon a shelf attached to the judge"s bench. He used a- powerful voice that ran the gamut in pitch. Mr Bachrach leaned against the benehl spoke , in a conversational pitch, and used his hands only oc casionally to illustrate the paral lels he was drawing between the responsibilities of youths and those j of diseased metnalltles. " I Court Is Crowded A jammed court room surround ed the attorneys.
